The axle boot thing is pretty common, luckily my transmission was coming out anyway for a clutch job. Boost leaks will whine like that while/once spooled since they're now pushing air out. Your intake tract(turbo inlet, intake, etc) is constantly under vacuum so if leaks make sounds, it would always be there and just get louder.

I'm local if you need a second eye on something. Theres also a few others in the Austin area.

Yea i think the whine went away after fixing the rubber seal on that hose.

Yea thanks for the offer man. Would prolly be cool sometime. Are there any meetups or anything that you know of. I know cobb used to have one that was lk 1 mile from my house here.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the 1/2 shaft is just bent. Do u know of ne where i could get one thats within driving distance. Would like to get it changed pretty fast.
